About our shower tray repair in Lutley

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need shower tray repair in Lutley?

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dudley and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Lutley

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What shower tray repair costs
